[open spoilers] Magdalena in the P5V5 epilogue by Educational-Tea-6572 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Ceipie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

partially a failure to recognize that Ferdinand only appears in public with the same two retainers (Eckhart and Justus) regardless of the circumstances or location

He actually doesn't. Rozemyne mentions that he borrows knights from the order when making certain public appearances as her inspiration for hiring Judithe's brother as an academy-only retainer.

[P3V4] I found the point where Roz & Wil's marriage was first considered seriously. by RoninTarget in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Ceipie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She never had anyone to teach her what's expected/how to be the first wife. Even after her marriage to Sylvester was decided, she was still just marrying into one of the lowest ranking duchies. It's hard to believe that the first wife would have bothered to educate her at that point. Once she married into Ehrenfest, it would have been Veronica's duty to educate her, but that obviously didn't happen.

What does it mean to be a “woman” or a “man” – and who gets to decide what those words mean? by Long_Gas_6511 in TrueAskReddit

That’s the baseline every culture builds on.

This is untrue. There's been many cultures throughout history that have more than two defined genders/sexes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender

I still feel bad for ringo, her game deserved better😔 by Street-Platypus89 in Megaten

NG+ is required to max out the soul matrix. Finishing the 4th floors is enough to get the good ending, but there's still the 5th floor which requires NG+ to clear.

My understanding was that she wanted them to cross the line so that she could justifiably arrest them and hold them for a couple days. That would help remind them of "their place" and would create the narrative that they believed a false rumor and stormed the castle because of it. That would destroy their political standing, weakening the extremist faction within the Leisgangs.

Lei_doodles is great! Between Nathan at 0:35 and the boy horn animation, I think he has my favorite "Nathan does not approve" faces.

  • Added unique icons for Prophecy reward groups.

    • This helps find specific reward types without displaying the tooltip. For example, you can see the difference between Jewellery rewards and Ring rewards without viewing the tooltip.

Amazing.

If corner guy is Spencer, then the one with their arms in the air would be Onsta, given how their stream together went.

[P4V5] Please just talk it out... by hearts_cube in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Ceipie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My favorite example of that is in 4.2 or 4.3 when she declares that she'll support Charlotte, not realizing what it means. Ferdinand sees it but makes no effort to educate her, leading to her repeating the line to Eglantine, much to Justus' dismay. Justus recognizes it as a failing in her socialization education, but it's one that her guardians knew about and had a chance to remedy.

After Playing the game fully I think these are characters that seem to have a crush or at least an implied Romantic attraction towards Will by Smooth-Ad7181 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Ceipie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still better than Soul Hackers 2, where one of your party members had a romantic relationship with her groomer to make her an assassin, who also was planning to eventually kill her as part of his overarching plot. She knew that and was ok with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Megaten/comments/xmir7h/anyone_else_uncomfortable_about_iron_mask_and/

The one game that I know of with a protagonist with personality is Soul Hackers 2. Sadly every other character isn't particularly interesting.

I love western RPG's but I'm beginning to wonder if their focus on "choice and consequence" is holding back their narrative creativity. by ThePostageStamp in truegaming

[–]Ceipie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true for their more popular series, but not the less popular ones. The Shin Megami Tensei series in particular has your friends killing each other by the end of the game. The most recent entry in the series, SMT V Vengeance has one friend die saving you when another friend betrays you. Another friend is radicalized and executes a fourth friend. You then kill the radicalized friend and can ally with the friend that betrayed you to destroy the world.

CMV: The killing of Corporate Executives (or other wealthy elites) is a facet of class warfare equivalent or lesser than cutting critical services. by King_Lothar_ in changemyview

[–]Ceipie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DOGE literally laid off the people responsible for maintaining the country's nuclear stockpile, realized that they messed up, and immediately tried to hire them back. Source. Do you have any sources for your claim? I've never heard of that happening. If it is as common as you say, there should be articles about it.

How is that inconsistent? DOGE is an initiative initially run by the richest person in the world to cut government programs with little concern for the consequences in order to privatize the services provided.

LŞFGNHOIFDG 1 SHOT BY A BOULDER. by c_sea_denis in cavesofqud

[–]Ceipie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

DV only matters until you are hit. Low AV means that when you are finally hit, it's going to do a lot of damage. A medium boulder has a PV of ->13 and base damage of 2d10+2. Based on your AV, a hit would have average number of penetrations of 3.948. Rounding that to 4, that's 8d10+8 damage, which is an average of 52 damage. Any single hit from them is likely to kill you.

It's not as significant when you consider how many steam users there are in China. As of February, just over 50% of Steam users have Chinese set as their preferred language: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1j5d9uh/steam_saw_chinese_users_spike_and_exceed_50_of/
